UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / litotes

τάραχος οὐκ ὀλίγος

/a/_disturbance not little

Luke is using a figure of speech that expresses a positive meaning by using a negative word together with a word that is the opposite of the intended meaning. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “a great disturbance”

Note 2 topic: translate-names

τῆς ὁδοῦ

the way

As the General Notes to Chapter 9 explain, the Way was one of the first names that people used to describe the community of believers in Jesus. If your language has a word for “way” or “path” that you can use as a name, it would be appropriate to use it here. See what you did in 19:9.
